    There can be a hereditary component to gum disease but usually it is habits that we have learned from our relatives that are what has been inherited. See a dentist and ask for advice on your home care. Simple improvements can make a huge difference in your outcome. Just because your relatives wound up in dentures does not mean you will.

  • Can water cause my teeth to discolor?

    Yes, if there is heavy mineralization in the city water it can yellow the teeth if there is heavy iron in the water, not unlike sprinklers will make the side of a home yellow from the iron in the irrigation water. There are other contaminants that can cause other colors to present as well. Home and Office Bleaching products can remove the stains. Also, regular brushing with Peroxide can reduce the stain accumulation. It is best in those areas to have your teeth cleaned and polished every 3 months instead of 6 or 12 months to help control the accumulation of the stain. Vivian DeLuca, DMD, FAGD READ MORE
